Thanks to Phil and Netfixer for the help and suggestions.

I tracked down the cause of my distress - a defect in the liveware here.

Apparently at some point a port forwarding rule was placed in the router that should not have been there. I killed the bogus rule and, like magic, everything is working as it should.

Hopefully this will be of help to someone in the future who is as dense as me.

Try as I might, I have not been able to make my RV016 pingable from the internet. I have joined the DSLReports Line Monitors groups for OOL and FIOS, but the monitors are not able to ping my router.

I have added an Access Rule to the router firewall to Allow Ping[0] on all interfaces from Any source to Any destination Anytime with Priority 1. This did not fix it.

I set Block WAN Request to Disable. This did not fix it (I changed it back to enable out of caution)
I know that there are some differences between the RV016 and the RV082, but all I have to do is set Block WAN Request to Disable to be pingable on both WAN interfaces of my RV082.

Unless there is a major firmware problem with the RV016, your problem is likely to be found in the modem and ONT settings. To test if there is actually a problem with pinging the WAN interfaces on the RV016, you could setup one WAN port for static IP, and setup a PC for the same subnet and connect it to that WAN interface. If that WAN port is pingable from the PC, then your current problem is with your modem/ONT/ISP.

Is your modem a modem or is it modem/router combo? Are you in fact trying to ping your WAN IP address (»www.ipchicken.com will give that to you)?]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-Wired-Linksys-RV016-making-it-pingable-23291267 Wed, 04 Nov 2009 15:14:32 EDT http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-Wired-Linksys-RV016-making-it-pingable-23291236
I tried disabling Statefull Packet Inspection - no go
I also disabled DoS - still no go (back on now)

I even turned off the fierwall - still cannot ping either of my WAN IP addresses

Any other thoughts

Thanks,

I've done a web search for solutions to no avail.

Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
